Guild Wars 2

With these insanely long queue times it’s ridiculous to give the same dishonor punishment for not accepting queue up when match is ready and for when a player chooses to abandon a match mid-game.

As designed, it is the same amount of penalty.

Was in queue for over 10 minutes. Doorbell rang and I didn’t want to abandon queue so I got the door and quickly returned only to find dishonor and an angry team all punished the same. To be blunt, what ignoramus thought this up? Seems there are multiple failures here. but namely the design team who approved this and the test team as well. Is the name calling too strong? IDK does this seem like a fair punishment I anwer a doorbell on a 10 minute queue and get the same penalty as a player who rage quits mid match.

How to fix this in 2-steps

• Give us an auto-match accept option when entering queue. This would prevent people from being penalized for stepping away just long enough to miss the accept match confirm button. If you have a deserter who’s AFK when match begins deal with them accordingly. There’s already code in place to kick people who are AFK, etc…

• Balance dishonor. Dishonor for queue “abandonment” should not be the same penalty as leaving mid matc… After 10-40 minute waits, I think the queue kind of abandoned the party and the game should get dishonor. Oh, wait it already seems to have that, doesn’t it

I think they need to address the balance so that people will be less inclined to quit mid match, and then remove the dishonor penalty for queues after five minutes.

Because as was said above, the player should not be blamed for wanting to spend his/her time elsewhere if it takes ages to find ten people willing to fight at any point in time.
